A fair amount depends on just you want to achieve in the wider picture. I'm going to assume that you have Python/pywin32 installed on both machines. You can, for example, use DCOM to instantiate a remote Python interpreter but the rest you probably be quite hard word. Assuming, though, that you're able to install and run some suitable modules on both sides then the possibilities are many. For some (non-exhaustive) examples: A simple option is Pyro[1] which has the benefit of being x-platform. Twisted[2] is very broad and has a lot of support although its learning curve is considered quite steep. Depending on the exact nature of what you're trying to do you could look at one of the tuplespace implementations[3]. Or you could use xmlrpc[4] from the stdlib. It has its limitations, but is simple and effective. For parallel processing you might try processing[5] (which has the added benefit of being plug-compatible with the threading module) or one of the other parallel libs. There's loads more -- CORBA, Ice, roll-your-own, PyRPC etc. but there's a world of difference between "executing a script on some other box" and, say, solving an essentially distributed problem using multiple CPUs.
